Pune, 10th September, 2014- Immense efforts are put in by companies today to hire and retain talent. Alok Kumar, the Managing Director of an Indian Company, writes about Employee engagement in his blog at www.kumaralok.com. The benefits of these efforts are immense. Silicon Valley is famous for creating new standards of pampering their staff to retain employees. However, it may not always be the best option for all the companies to copy these benefits blindly. Companies should look for unique and innovative methods of hiring and retaining employees. By all means they should do it as there is an urgent need for employee engagement in the companies in India
In his blog, he says if we take a peek in the past, there are a few common elements of employee engagement. Organizations are like a huge family and treating their people fairly can be the most effective engagement model. Best innovations did not happen in the best of the places, but in the most challenging environments. Organizations empowering their employees and providing a clear path and vision, for the employees to walk upon, coupled with good leadership, will do the same wonders a leading company can achieve by spending several times the resources. Most employees’ today are looking for a mentor to guide them and advise them on how to traverse the professional ladder. Keeping the door open for a conversation goes a long way in building a valuable bond between the employees and the organization. Few things employees always look for are job stability, growth, quality of life, Companies they work for and finally the money. Good managers and leaders add to this party
In his blog www.kumaralok.com he is helping audiences find the keys to employee engagement. The companies who cannot afford the hard benefits beyond a reasonable limit, should embark upon the softer part of employee engagement. It will certainly have a great and lasting effect on employee happiness and empowering employees would be more impactful.
